One of the Best Guides for Utah Hiking William W. Gorman Jr. This is a book that is written by people who have done all the hikes and know the trails.

They provide elevation changes and list elevations at the beginning and end of the hikes.

Oh yeah, slickrock junkies will be pleased.Skimming thru, the photos are great, the maps look accurate and easy to read and the trip choices seem excellent.I'm not really going to get rid of my shelves of Utah hiking guides but this is certainly a great addition.Whoops; five minutes after submitting the above review the cover came unglued and fell off. Bad cover but still a good book.. Good book-poorly bound This book is great for the reader who wants to get out and go to specific sites. I don't always have time to scout out new places and this gives very detailed instructions on how to find a site. I am very unhappy with the binding. If it weren't for that I would give it 5 stars.
